Women’s Movements in Latin America: Pandemic-Era Political Agendas (a conversation)

The Latin American & Caribbean Studies interdisicplinary program at UT is proud to present an online conversation between two active researchers on Argentina about the recent "Pink Tide" of women involved in politics in Latin America.  The #NiUnaMenos movement, like #MeToo, protested sexual harassement, and violence against women, but also the alarming number of murders of women (femicide) across the hemisphere. Join us to hear them talk more about what women in Latin America have been doing in these challenging times.
